With sometimes time well spent
But most are but a fleeting glance
And we wonder where they went

Final Trip

To great unknown journey
      I travel without equipment
      ephemeral but not fleeting passenger...
      Definitely coming...

You were always on my mind

Our love was but a fleeting thing,
and many years have flown away.
Although we never reconciled,
I thought of you each single day.
